I zam on state insurance right now. I have a really bad apron and my muscles are separated so i really need this all fixed. he lower body lift was the surgeons idea. I would have been happy with just the apron removed. I am SCARED to death though of another surgery. After the RNY I had lack of oxygen to my brain and it took a while to recoup. I thought the Pres. was Nixon and didnt even know my childrens B days or what hospital I was in. I smoke and have to quit ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 I fought for 18 mo to get a TT with my hernia repair. I need an LBL approved for my son more than for myself. He is the only WLS'er that I know of that turned diabetic AFTER WLS. He almost died because they said " You just can't lose 150 lbs and become diabetic! " But you can if you turn into a Type I. He now wears a pump and the loose skin around his middle really limits his infusion sites. At this point, he can only use his upper legs. Saw a PS that deals in lots of WLS'ers and he was not hopeful for an approval on the LBL. Say a little prayer for us....we need all the help we can get!
